Latham & Watkins’ ECM team excels at handling cross-border work, with a strong and consistent record of advising large corporates as well as major banks such as JP Morgan on global IPOs and secondary placings, reverse takeovers, and demerger transactions. The London team regularly collaborates with the firm’s international partners to guide clients through listings on the LSE, NYSE, and European exchanges, and it is particularly well-regarded for its work with IPO candidates in the tech and renewable energy sectors. Banking clients furthermore benefit from the team’s ability to offer integrated advice on transactional and financial regulatory issues. James Inness regularly advises on London IPOs and co-heads the team with US securities and M&A expert Mark Austin, who joined the firm from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP in June 2023. Further key contacts include Chris Horton, who is well-regarded for his expertise in public M&A and SPAC transactions, and Anna Ngo, who handles a varied caseload of primary and secondary offerings.
